The aged historian, Mr.. Bancroft, to
Louisville reporter, who asked him if
his life work was at an end, said: ooh,
yes, indeed. A man who is in sight of
ninety can promise the world nothing.
I have left mortal affairs behind me.
All my thoughts are on eternity. But,
however useful my life has been-and,
without pride, I think I can say that
have done my share of good-it has al
least been one of hard work. If, as
some people have said, I am or was a
genius, my genius-which, by the way,
is a word of vague suggestions-lay
wholly in my unremitting industry and
application. And, my boy, I will tell
you, though there are many hard work
ers who are not geniuses, there never
was genius who wasn't hard worker.

FRED GRANT was not the only Presi-
dents son at the Logan funeral, says
the Cleveland Plai,adealer. Away up
in the gallery, with q. military overcoat
thrown over his shoulders, I saw Cen
eral John Tyler, whose face looks ~
much like that of his father as Fred
Grants does like that of his father.
Gen. Tyler was, I Judge, of the same
age of Fred when his father was Presi-
dent, and he was spoken of in the So
ciety annals of the time as the hand
soonest man in Washington. Now he
lives quietly here at the capital, and he
has sinecure position in the Treasury
Department. There are number of
other descendants of Presidents still
living in the United States. John Ty-
Ter has brother or two. Abraham
Lincoln's son Robert practices law in

as do also those of President Hayes
Young Allan Arthur was here the 9TH

having as much politeness as had his
father. George Washington never had
child. Thomas Jefferson's children
were all of the other sex. James Mad
ison left no sons to perpetuate his
name, and I have never heard of Mon
roes having children. The Adams
family did better, and the death Of
Charles Francis Adams, the son Of
John Quincy, recalls the fact that the
brains of the family outlasted three
generations, and that the fourth still
exists in full intellectual vigor. Andrew
Jackson died childless. Martin Van
Buren, had son more brilliant than
himself, who was known as Prince
John Van Buren,, but who died before
he could leave his mark upon the peo-
pie of the time. Buchanan died q
bachelor, being disappointed in love in
early life. Harrison had a son who
became member of Congress, and ]

The Ri..t of Way.

The members Of the bicycle club
are feeling very jubilant over the
result of the conference Tuesday
betw cen the Board of City Trustees,
the City Marshal and the committee
appointed by the wheelmen in re-
gard to riding cycles ON Main street.
Two of the Board-Messrs. Klein
and Kitzmeyer are absent from town
but they will surely coincide with
the views of the three other mem
bers. Trustees Bryson, Leete and
Wooley and Marshal Ullrick, all
expressed the opinion that not the
slightest objection could be found
to Bicycling on Main street as long
as the same rules were observed by
wheelmen as the riders of other
vehicles followed, and SO as long as
this is done bicyclers can enjoy the
same privileges given to all vehicles.
In order to preserve perfect har-
mony the bicycle club will adopt
certain rules for their government
while OH the streets, such as keep
ing to the right, dismounting and
hiding the machine when meeting a
fractions horse, etc. The course
pursued by our Trustees follows
the custom which is now becoming
universal in all cities. BY the San
Francisco Chronicle of Monday it
will be seen that Governor Hill, of
New York, in which State a bitter
fight has been waged against bicy-
cles for several years, has signed a
bill which allows bicycles, and
tricycles to be treated as vehicles,
and gives them the right to travel
over any roads or parks which are
open to carriages.

Mrs Langtry Purchases Real rs

tate in Carson.
Yesterday Mrs. Langtry paid
visit to Lake Tahoe, being driver
up in one of Raycraft's four in hands
In the morning she selected a cor
ner lot in this city, saying that she
had half mind to purchase and
would do SO probably on her return
from the Lake. When she came
back from the Lake she expressed
herself absolutely delighted with
the spot and closed her bargain foi
the lot, which was in the Northern
part of the city. Lot No. 10 Cor
belts addition.
She selected the lot with her
usual care and after being driven
around the city selected the place
in Cor belts addition on account oil
its being on an elevated spot and
also because of the certainty of get
ting artesian water there. In speak
ing of the Lake she said, "There is
no such beauty spot on Gods
footstool as that little sheet OF
water. Of course purchase prop
erty wherever I think it advantage
GUS, and from what have heard OF
late of Nevada, I think all kinds OF
real estate will be valuable here in
a few years.
"This is a delightful valley, and
l want little spot / can call my

build, and come up here when am
at leisure and enjoy the bracing Ne
vada air, and occasionally take a
dip in the Hot Springs, which seem

come when there will be rush to
Nevada, and people will come here
to cure their lung troubles and
breathe the delightful air. I never
was in such good voice as since /
came here
When asked what price she had
paid for the land she only laughed
and said that she never dickered
over real estate, or repeated bust
ness transactions.

kanchers Waking UP to the
Prospects Ahead

Yesterday Mr.. Woods, the arbor-
culturist, brought to the APPEAL Of
| flee specimen of the wild pea,
| which has grown near his plac e
| without irrigation. The specimen
was a vine. or rather number OF
vines from single root, prod icing
a bushy. thickly leaved mass about
three feet long and foot in diam
eter. The stem was not any thicker
than darning needle, yet the mass
of green on the stem would require
considerable pressure to stuff into
an ordinary hat. The leaves were
long and narrow, and about twenty
well developed pea pods were dang
ling on the vine about an inch
long.
This Mr.. Woods SAYS will grow
anywhere in this State without a
drop of water, and is adapted to
dry, hard soils, where scarcely any
thing else will grow at all. 1t is a
splendid forage plant, and stock
fatten rapidly on it. He is saving
seed, and will cultivate the plant to
sell the seed.
Another forage plant making
rapid progress in this State is the
Australian rye grass or blue joint.
Mr.. Woods has called public atten-
ton to this grass before. 1t will grow
four or five feet high without irriga-
ton, and stools broadly at the bot
tom, making a splendid turf.
Farmers all about the valley are
saving it for seed, for they are now
convinced that it will make hay
fields anywhere that sagebrush or
grease-wood will grow, ana before
long prove staple hay grass in
this State.
With this grass a man can run a
stock farm with only water enough
to water his stock. The roots are
long and thick, and penetrate deep
ly into the ground, aud when once
in, is almost as hard as alfalfa to
pillow up and get rid of. 1t spreads
rapidly, and is a most nutritious
plant for stock, being a rapid fat
tener.
. Another good thing about it is
that it comes up first in the Spring,
stands the Summer heat, and is the
last grass in the Fall to wither.
Mr.. Woods says that it has
proven bonanza wherever it has
been introduced, and is the coming
grass for Nevada. 1t will grow in
sand, alkali, clay, loan, and wet
and dry places. Wherever it finds
a patch of earth it will grow, and
is hardy beyond description.

SIsKIYoU MOUNTAIN, Or, July 10.
At IL 80 o'clock last night a
Chinese gambling and opium den
at this place was raided by the Dep
uty Sheriff and a posse. The Chi
nese had established gambling and
opium hell near the grading camps
which are located here and have
caused the company great deal of

men employed by the company had
been habitual frequeuters of the place
and it was impossible to get any
work out of them, as every morning
there was always number of them
very much befoggled by the effects
of the debauch of the previous night.
The company decided to put stop to
these proceedings and break up the
place, and well-orginized raid took
place and the Cinnamon were driven
out of their headquarters.

General Master Powderly on Temperance.

! General Master Workman Powderly has
written a letter to the secretary OF a Good
Templar lodge in Brooklyn, in which he
says: ~
/ I'm pleased to know that my humble
efforts in behalf OF the sacred cause OF tem-
per;ance meet with your appreciation. I
have never said anything upon the subject
that did not mean, and the sentiments
that l have expressed fail to convey the
fnll dept of what I do feel upon this SUBJ
ject. I regard the use ofstrongdrink by men
and worne as the greatest curse that can
beiall them To tho use OF liquor can be
ascribed nine tenths OF the ills that befall
our working people; and while u, working
people are always held up as those most
likely to be injured by the use Of rum. it is
only because, through poverty, their faults
are more easily discovered than those on
the other side, who drink fully as much
and are as much the slaves OF drink are
as the working people, the only difference
being in the quality Of the drinks. One
hns to content himself with 'five-cent beer,
the other with $3.50 Champagne. The ei-
feet is the same, and the use ofboth should
be abolished if we hope to have strong
men and women for the future.
